- Outlook 2021: slightly lower revenue, profit at least at same
level.
Ton Hillen, CEO Heijmans:“The year 2020 was
overshadowed by the pandemic, but our people showed resilience.
Thanks to adapted health and safety regulations, we were able to
continue work on projects. This enabled us to improve our results
despite Covid-19 and the persistent nitrogen problem. Heijmans did
not make use of any government support measures in 2020, such as
the NOW scheme or the possibility of deferring tax payments. I am
proud of an excellent performance by our employees in a dynamic and
challenging year.
All sectors contributed to our revenue growth. I am particularly
pleased with the performance of Infra, where we saw the course we
set in recent years result in a sharp improvement in results and a
more balanced order book. Based on the current order book, Heijmans
is also in a good position for 2021. We see challenges in the
market and the economy, but thanks to our proven resilience and
agility we are optimistic.
My colleague Hans Janssen, CFO and member of the Executive
Board, recently announced that he will be leaving Heijmans by the
end of April. Both the Supervisory Board and I regret his departure
but respect his choice. We are grateful to Hans for the pleasant
working relationship and his contribution to the development and
strengthening of Heijmans over the past three and a half years. We
have already started the process of appointing a new CFO.
Our strategic agenda is determined by themes such as
sustainability and circularity, energy, nature-inclusive building,
climate-adaptive solutions and Smart Cities. For instance, we are
working to make our equipment fleet more sustainable, and our
targets are ambitious. Standardisation and digitalisation will also
lead to greater efficiency, more scope for learning and even higher
safety levels. We are increasingly involved in the planning phase
of projects, providing advice on area development with an eye for
nature, people and health. This gives an opportunity to have even
more impact with our mission, as creators of a healthy living
environment.”
